“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received this weekend! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They treated my dog like family, provided updates, and made sure all of their needs were met. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pup!”
“The dogs were at first meeting defensive which is natural. Within minutes they relaxed and were comfortable with Tylyn. Nice pictures were taken everyday, the yard was cleaned up and she did a little extra watering. I was very comfortable with her dropping in for a total of nine days.”
“Khylei was amazing- my cats were very well taken care of, and my less shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello. I had so much peace of mind knowing that my cats were so well taken care of.”
About: My whole life, my family, and I have always had pets in our home from spiders, lizards, iguanas, frogs, snakes, birds (including wild, pigeons), fish, gerbils, rabbits, cats, and dogs. I grew up being around extended family members who have had other pets such as monkeys, horses, goats, sheep and chickens, to name a few. 😂 🙈🐶🦋🐷🦄🐐🐾🐍🐸🐱🐇🐭🐹🐿️🫏 As a child, I would rescue injured animals and take them home and nurse them back to health so I could set them free or give them forever home, if they couldn’t go back to the wild. I’ve always loved animals, and my passion has always been dogs and horses. I currently have four kids (dogs) in my home ages 5 to 13 years and ranging from 8 pounds to 65 pounds. My kids and I enjoy having visitors so we can meet new friends and play. I do not work or have any other obligations so caring for your kids is my number one priority! I am able to give them lots of love and attention throughout the day. We spend the majority of the day playing either in the house or outside. Throughout the day, I spend alone time with each dog so I can get to know your dog and understand their personality. This is some of the best time of the day because this is where we build our relationship and respect. 🥰🤗 Why use Rove? Please see Rover Guarantee on the website or in the app. Rover also verify dog sitters identity and runs a background checks. Why use Tammy H? Safety first: I read all dog’s profiles prior to accepting any booking and usually complete a meet and greet in my home! I separate dogs during feeding and treat time, so most dogs who visit are crate trained. (food and treats are provided by the owners). My front yard and backyard are fully fenced independently. 4 foot and 6 foot respectively. We have baby gates throughout the home for the dogs safety. If your dog is crate trained, please bring the crate. If your dog is not crate trained, they can stay in the office/dog room on the bed or the floor in small beds.
“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”
“I highly recommend Donna for your furry friends needs! She cared for my two dogs and one cat with extreme professionalism, provided detailed notes on care and behavior, and timely visits and check-ins.”
“Kristen went above and beyond with my dog, Belle! She took her potty even in the rain, played with her, very considerately kept me updated, and was very professional during a tricky moment on a walk. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone!”
“We are so lucky to have found Lindsey to take care of our two fur babies! She gives them so much love and our dogs are just in heaven when she visits. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of and is super flexible with last minute plans and changes. She truly is wonderful and we can’t recommend her enough!”
“We used this app for the first time and got so lucky to find Patti! She immediately made us feel at ease upon our first meeting and our dog loved her right away. She even was able to eventually pet our 12 year old cat who is a really big scaredy cat with new people. She was able to do exactly what we needed with our pets while we were away and we did not have to worry one bit. Loved all the pics and comments every day as well. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our fur babies! ??”
“Morgan was a great sitter and went above and beyond my expectations. She was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures too. She was respectful of my home and dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child and have been raising my own for the past 18 years. I take a gentle approach to new pets and love them as if they were my own. No animal is too big, too old or too shy to deserve to be cared for as their owners would. I’m currently working part time as a nanny so I have plenty of free time to walk your dogs, change your litter box and play with your fur babies. I care for each and every one of your pets as if they were my own. I have a calm demeanor and do not stress easily. I can administer medication and provide basic first aid to pets. All of my services are offered in the pets own home where they are most comfortable.
About: When I was younger my family always had dogs that we cared and loved like apart of the family. As an adult nothing has changed but I now have experience with newborn puppies and dogs with medical needs and regular love and responsibilities that come with caring for a pet I do work full time but I am free on the weekends and my spouse works from home caring for our own pets so we always have someone home and attentive Our yard is very accommodating to dogs of any size which is nice for play time or just lounging out in the sun. Potty and food are typically on a set time and water and cuddles all around.
About: Not only am I an animal lover, I have been a dog trainer for the last 18 years and a Pet First Aid & CPR instructor since earlier this year. I have worked with all kinds of animals and am familiar with a large range of behaviors. I also volunteered at different shelters for over 8 years. You can trust me with your pet. I am currently a professional dog trainer with availability for pet care throughout the week. I can be flexible for mornings, evenings and weekends, working around my training schedule. In clients homes I follow the guidelines provided by the pet owner. We discuss any clarifications before the job begins ensuring we have a mutual understanding on what is needed.
About: With over 13 years of experience caring for other people’s furbabies, plus a lifetime of my own dogs and cats, I bring genuine, hands on comfort to every visit. I’m confident administering oral medication, trimming nails, brushing coats, and walking dogs of any size or energy level, from a calm senior stroll to a fullon zoomie session. Whatever your pup needs, I’ll treat them like family. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening visits after 5pm on weeknights, giving your pet consistent, reliable care even on busy days. Weekends open up more with time for longer visits, extra playtime, and one-on-one attention. Whenever I’m with your pet, I’m fully present and focused on them and their care and happiness. I provide all my care in clients’ homes so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine and comforts. Safety is a top priority on every visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, and follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly as given. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own: keeping it secure, respecting your privacy, and leaving everything just as I found it.
About: I've taken care of my own pets as well ask friends and family's pets. They're part of the family and need to be treated as so. I recently moved back here. Looking for some fun and exploring with dog walking and owt sitting. I can be called last minute or scheduled out 6+ months. I have a fenced yard at my house. I will provide the top care for your animal in my home or your and follow your routines to the best of my ability
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and being around animals has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond my love for animals, I’ve spent nearly 30 years working in clients’ homes as a remodeling contractor, which has taught me the importance of reliability, respect, and treating every home with care. When you leave your pet with me, you’re choosing someone who will care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own family. I’ve also cared for chickens and am comfortable with backyard flocks, so if you have feathered family members, they’re in good hands too. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and maintain your pet’s normal routine. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the exercise, affection, and care they deserve while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll carefully follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, along with regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Khylei was wonderful with our cats and rats! She was quick to respond to messages, took excellent care of our critters, and even went above and beyond with cleaning up the messes they made while we were away. The daily updates and photos were so reassuring as well. We'll definitely be reaching out to her for our future pet sitting needs!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
